Tomorrow a person who will remain nameless but who is the most wonderful, Christian mentor and friend I could have is giving me the best Christmas present ever!! She is taking my boys to the park and to see the robotic dinosaurs at the nature museum. How is this a present for me? Well if you are a mom, you know very well what a present this is. What will Athena be doing during this time you may ask?
I am going to go to Starbucks and buy a Venti Chai Tea with milk and 4 Splenda and I am going to read a book I have been dying to start called The Beekeeper's Apprentice.Then I am going to head down to Honey's office and take him to lunch. There will be no fingers in my plate and no one will have to have me take them to the bathroom just as my food arrives. We will have an hour of uninterrupted adult conversation. After lunch, I am going to come back home and finish putting away the boxes that the decorations were in......or maybe not. That last part us up for discussion.
I love you my friend and your heart for God and your heart for mothers of young children. I am so grateful God put our lives together last year and that our friendship has continued to grow and flourish this year. You are truly a blessing from God. I love you!!
What an amazing, wonderful, thoughtful, liberating gift! Have a great time reading, sipping, chatting, and munching!!
May God show Himself to you in a new way during your "Selah" time.
